A Japanese reality TV show in which participants share a house with each other and have their not-so interesting lives filmed at times. Although some of the young adults participating in Terrace House can be decent people, it is common for some participants to use their time in the house as an opportunity to advertise their small shops, promote their careers, and/or gain new followers for their Instagram pages. Also a 'reality TV' show that attracts selfish players and divas.
